Meet Hildie: Soft, Sweet, and Learning the Ropes
Hildie is a gentle, loving girl with a soft heart and a sweet spirit. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is surprisingly easy for baths — calm, cooperative, and patient.
She’s made incredible progress, but she’s still learning that new experiences aren’t scary. Hildie can be fearful when a collar or leash is being put on, and she’ll need a patient adopter who can go slow and help her build confidence. She also has a few barrier reactivity quirks — if she’s behind a gate, she may bark or get reactive, but once the barrier is gone, she’s her normal sweet self.
Hildie loves treats… maybe a little too much! She takes them like a tiny shark, so her future family should help her learn gentle manners for taking treats.
